Infertile animals are not able to have offspring of their own - so are not of any direct value in breeding.
Infertile animals may be introduced into populations as a means of population control - for pest species.
Sterile males may also be used to see if females are receptive for mating purposes before the intended male mate is transported. An example of this is in the horse breeding industry - where they wish to know whether to bring the stallion in to service the mare. However, a fertile pony, who is unable to breed with the mare - but technically fertile - is usually used.
